Description
Bjartus's determination to achieve financial independence is tested by the harsh realities of rural Icelandic life. As he struggles to make a living from a barren patch of land, his family and circumstances threaten to undermine his resolve.
Asta Solillja, the child he raises as his own, grows into a young woman with ambitions of her own, forcing Bjartus to confront the limits of his stubborn heart.
This epic novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Halldór Laxness is a powerful portrait of one man's struggle for independence in a harsh and beautiful landscape.
